Dream - Muhyani (58), a goat herder in Serang who was made a suspect for stabbing a thief to death, can now breathe a sigh of relief. This is because the Serang District Attorney's Office (Kejari) has dropped the charges against him. The Decision to Terminate Prosecution (SKP2) was issued by the District Attorney's Office after a case exposition (hearing) was conducted at the Banten Provincial Attorney's Office (Kejati).

The expose was directly led by the Head of the Banten High Prosecutor's Office, Didik Farkhan, and Aspidum Jefri Penanging Meakapedua. Also present were the Serang District Prosecutor, Yusfidly, the Pidum Section Head, and the Public Prosecutor from the Serang District Prosecutor's Office. "The expose resulted in an agreement that the case of Muhyani Bin Subrata is not suitable for referral to the court. Based on the facts uncovered by the Public Prosecutor, it was found that there was a legitimate defense (noodweer) as referred to in Article 49 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code," said the Head of the Banten High Prosecutor's Office, Didik Farkhan, as quoted from merdeka.com, Saturday, December 16, 2023.

Didik said, according to the law, a person who resists to defend his property or protect someone else's property is classified as a person who carries out self-defense.

From the results of the expose, it was revealed that from the results of the autopsy and findings, it can be concluded that the victim was not declared dead directly due to the defendant's act of stabbing the victim's chest with scissors. "However, the victim died due to bleeding and not immediately receiving assistance, so it can be concluded that the victim did not die directly as a result of the defendant's actions," said Didik.

"Furthermore, from the case file, it was found that the defendant resisted against the victim using a tool in the form of scissors because the defendant felt threatened by the victim who was carrying a machete. At the time of the incident, the victim was about to take out the machete that he had prepared when caught red-handed by the defendant."

"Upon hearing the news that his case was dismissed, Muhyani felt happy. He continued to cry with gratitude and thanked everyone who had helped and prayed for him. 'After being dismissed, I am grateful. Alhamdulillah, Almighty God, my father can be free. Alhamdulillah, thank you so much to all the journalists from wherever, thank you very much, deeply moved,' he said."

After being free from legal entanglements, Muhyani is ready to resume activities as usual. "In the future, I can resume activities as the head of the family, I can go fishing again and work as a construction worker," he said.
